"This wine has been a sleeper of the vintage - always providing
surprisingly delicious drinking. The most recent tasting (from a
magnum) revealed a wine that was not a blockbuster, rather, the
quintessentially elegant style of claret that seems incapable of
being replicated in the New World. The color is a mature garnet
with considerable rust at the edge. A sweet nose of cedar,
fruitcake, berries, and tobacco is followed by a medium-weight,
light-styled Pomerol that retains its fresh, ripe fruit, as well as
a vibrancy that seems unusual for the vintage. I have a half-dozen
tasting notes for the 1967, and they reveal I have consistently
found this to be a charming, light-weight, but delicious claret."
